Cleanliness and your Horse's Health


You might not believe it but one of the most important factors in how healthy your horse ends up being is his cleanliness. In order to have your horse live a very healthy life style, it needs to be able to maintain a life in which it is clean and in which it can have access to all of the things that can help it to be happy and healthy.

Make sure that you are providing your horse with plenty of room to run, and plenty of rest when he has been working. All of these things are important, but they are also impacted by one single factor – the cleanliness of the stable and your horse in general. Not having a clean area, and not having a clean life can lead to all kinds of problems within all aspects of your horse.

Not having a clean area, and not having a clean life can lead to all kinds of problems within all aspects of your horse. If his food and water are not fresh and clean, he is going to have health problems. If his stall is not clean, he is in danger of developing other illnesses as well. Overall cleanliness is very important if you want your horse to be as happy and healthy as he could be.

You want to work hard to make sure your horse is happy. This means that he needs to have fresh straw and food, as well as fresh water. The food and water must be clean and fresh - make sure you provide them in containers that are also clean. If you are giving your horse clean food and water in dirty containers he is going to get sick.

His stall must be clean at all times. Even if you hire someone to clean out your stalls, make sure that the person you have hired is doing the right work. It does no good for your horse to be living in dirty quarters!

Be sure that you are grooming and cleaning your horse as often as he needs to be groomed and cleaned. This is something that is more vital than you could possible imagine, because if your horse isn’t clean himself, he isn’t going to be very happy.
